Cape Agarizaki & Yonaguni Horses
東崎
A cliff headland at the island's eastern tip, where Yonaguni horses graze on the grassland, with a lighthouse and viewing platform. A good spot for sunrise.
Cape Agarizaki is the headland at the eastern tip of Yonaguni Island. Beneath cliffs roughly 100 metres high, the Pacific waves crash, and the grassland on the cape serves as pasture where Yonaguni horses, one of Japan's native horse breeds, are raised. These horses are small and gentle, and often graze lazily by the roadside. You can admire and photograph them from a distance, but do not feed them or approach them from behind. Beside the Cape Agarizaki Lighthouse is a viewing platform, where you can watch the sunrise in the early morning. On clear days, you can make out the direction of Ishigaki Island. If you want to ride, you can book a riding experience at the Yonaguni Horse Exchange Plaza on the island. Entry is free. It is about a 15-minute drive from Zuna.
